Karma is a cruel mistress

A driver being tailgated Monday near Gibsonton [FL] captured the ordeal on a cellphone video, including a crash where the tailgater spun out of control and struck a utility pole.

Then she turned the video over to authorities.

Jeffrey Travis White.

State troopers said they arrested Jeffrey Travis White, 33, of Tampa based on the video and witness accounts.

The Florida Highway Patrol said that on Monday morning, White was driving south on U.S. 41 north of Gibsonton Drive. He was tailgating another driver, Tracy Lynn Sloan of Lakeland, who videotaped it using a cellphone.

White passed her and flashed an obscene gesture, which she also captured on video.

White then passed Sloan and tried to merge in front of her car, but lost control of his 2008 Ford pickup truck.
